Scandinavian Dining Rooms
Scandinavian decor has become extremely popular around the world for its practical mix of functional design and beautiful form. Scandinavian dining rooms often feature neutral-colored dining tables in hues like light brown, white or black.
The design of the furniture is often very simple and practical.
For the dining chairs, you could find wishbone chairs or even mid-century modern side chairs present. To the side, you may see a simple minimalist console table or buffet.
